Edward Pigliavento, Sr. was a union mason for most of his life.

He grew up in construction since his father was also a contractor. Ed passed away in 1995. He was a highly skilled mason, but was also skilled in many other trades. Edward Jr, like his father, joined the Mason Union. Ed is also talented in many different trades. It was Ed, Junior's dream to be in business for himself, so he became the driving force that began our business. Once Ed decided to go into business, his father and younger brother Michael decided to join him in the venture. Ed Jr. came across the Brookview Court Apartment project and took the opportunity to launch his business. Once Ed was able to secure the project, he contacted his cousin, Mark Pigliavento. For the first couple of years, Mark did their design work on the side and then came on board full time in 1985.

Our Origins

The company was founded by Edward Pigliavento, Sr. and two of his sons, Edward, Jr. and Michael.

They incorporated in 1983 as "Brookview Court Incorporated", named after the company's first project called "Brookview Court Apartments" in Rotterdam, NY. The original intent of the company was to construct, own and operate the 82-unit apartment complex. The company continued on, building mostly rental properties for various investors before transitioning into building condominium projects in 1987. Eventually, single family developments started to become a significant part of the business, and their marketing firm was begging Mike & Ed to change the company name so that people would know who they were.
